Later that day, Baba crossed the Indus River in a boat, and worked with Swami Hari Ram Das on Sadbella Island. Hari Ram Das was a high mast who had an ashram and a group of disciples who performed arti and bhajans before him.
On the 3rd, in Rohri near Sukkur, Baba contacted five masts. One of them, Bhai Chowar , was perhaps the filthiest mast Baba had ever contacted. The stench was unbelievable. No ordinary man would have stayed in his room for five seconds, but the Lord of creation sat with the mast for ten minutes.
The most exceptional contact in Rohri was the great saint-mast Master Nemramji who was, according to Baba, between the sixth and seventh planes. This saint's facial features looked almost exactly like Chacha's (the great majzoob of Ajmer), and he was believed to be close to 100 years old. Nemramji was famous throughout the surrounding areas, and notice boards with his picture and directions to his whereabouts were everywhere in Rohri. Nemramji was a mast-saint of the jalali type, with a fiery temperament, and people greatly feared the saint but also held him in great reverence.
After working with these and other masts, Baba journeyed toward the Punjab, reaching Multan late at night on the 3rd and checking into a dak bungalow. Even though it was late, Baba contacted four masts. The most significant was Hazrat Shadruddin Shah , a high mast about 100 years of age and known as the patriarch of Multan. Shadruddin Shah was the successor of a past saint at whose shrine he stationed himself. Daily an organized feeding of the poor took place at the shrine. This saintly man subsisted only on liquids.
In Multan, Baba also contacted Chup Shah , Tapasvi Puran Das and Data Faqir . After these contacts, Baba returned to his dak bungalow.
From Multan, Baba and the five mandali with him went to Lyallpur on Saturday, 5 October 1946. A mile and a half from the train station, in a room full of rubbish, Baba contacted a Sikh mast known as Prem Chand . Another mast, Faqir Chand , who roamed about the city during the day and slept on the road at night, saw Baba and tried to avoid contact. But after roaming about in the heat of the day, Baba finally caught up with him and was pleased by the contact.
